People just love a scandal . . . Kate McKinnon is thirty-six and mother to five-year-old Toby. She used to be a restaurant chef, but then Toby came along. Now she has a small but thriving catering business. Her life is on an even keel but that’s about to change.
She gets a job cooking lunch at the Foreign Office and there she has her first fateful meeting with Oliver Stapler, Secretary of State. Married and a father, he’s totally out of bounds, yet she falls for him. Though she tries to keep her feelings secret, rumours start to fly. When someone alerts the gutter press, who cares whether Kate’s affair with Oliver is true or not?
